(to attached to wall)
Installing your Appliance
Always choose a safe location for the heater, keeping in mind the safety
precautions outlined. Ensure all packaging has been removed from the unit before
use.
CAUTION: Do not mount directly under or over an electrical power socket.
It is recommended to install the heater to the side of the power socket.
The cord length is 1.5m, an electrician may be required to install a power socket
nearer to the appliance.
LOCATION
The heater should be placed with a minimum distance of 1 metre between the unit and
flammable objects such as curtains, paintings or other materials that may pose fire risk.
Installation of the heater on the wall MUST BE 1.8m above the floor to the bottom of the
heater, 300mm from the ceiling to the top of the heater and 200mm away from closest
side walls.
INSTALLATION
1. Measure the distance between the mounting holes on the back of the appliance and
then mark the wall at the measured distance. Ensure that the marks you make are
level.
2. Drill holes to the same diameter as the wall plugs.
3. Place the wall plugs into the hole in the wall and then fix two screws into the wall
plugs.
4. Keep the heads of the screws out approximately 10mm.
5. Now hang the heater on screws and slide the heater across to the right and then
down, locking the heater to the screws in the wall.
Operating Your Heater
WARNING: In order to avoid overheating or fire, do not cover the heater.
WARNING: Keep all objects at least 1 metre from the front and sides of the
appliance.
WARNING: Do not use this heater with a programmer, separate timer,
remote-control system or any other device that switches the heater on
automatically, since a fire risk exists if the heater is covered or positioned
incorrectly.
WARNING:Never leave this heater unattended when in use.
Ensure heater is on a flat, stable, heat-resistant surface.
Once the heater is in a safe operating position and all switches are in the off
position, insert the power plug into the mains outlet and switch on.
CAUTION: Ensure the power cord is not tight because if pulled it may partially
pull the plug from the socket. A partially inserted plug will overheat the plug and
socket and could result in fire.
Note: When the appliance is turned on for the first time, it may release a slight
odour or smoke. This odour or smoke is a normal occurrence caused by the initial
heating of the internal heating elements and should not occur again.
